As to the others - I spent an evening downloading various programs and shuddered.
At the end of it, I have an LRF file, which can be read on ... Sony ereaders.
PDFs may not be designed for ereaders, but it works. Hey, I can even have more than one font in the text! I can send them to anyone else, and they can read it too.
And to make one? Put the text into Open Office, and press a button. It'll have proper widow and orphan control too.

You can use the calibre txt2lrf converter without using the library functions.
If you want the most general purpose format which allows things like italics, bold and font/size changes, then use HTML. Some of the other formats are just wrappers around HTML anyway, LIT and EPUB for two examples.
